I just saw your message and if you haven't found the info below already, it should be helpful for you. I am a descendent of Nancy Hazen and am currently putting my records together to submit to the DAR as her grandfather Hazen &amp; greatgrandfather Hazen were both patriots already recorded in the DAR records.<br><br>Nancy Hazen married Francis Holiday Davison in Pennsylvania. They relocated to Iowa in 1845 where Francis may have died. However no grave has ever been found for him. So no one knows if he died in Iowa for sure. They had money so there should have been a stone.<br><br>Nancy remarried to a Porter Jameson, who died some years later.<br><br>She is buried in Mt Hope cemetery with her SON, William Bell Davison, who predeceased her.<br><br>She is documented in published genealogies for both the Hazen and Jameson families, the later of which was written while she was still living.<br><br>I have also located the marriage record of her son William, listing Nancy Hazen and Francis Davison as his parents.2015-08-02 17:10:14Zdeeflint01http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.mercer/2171.1/mb.ashxA.M.

Dear Debbie,<br><br>Shame on me that i never have send a answer on you so thankful message. I think this message slips trough my emails....I'm so sorry.<br><br>Thank you so much for all the work you have done as a member of the Mercer County Genealogical Society. It should be great if you would like to help me to find some living relatives of Henry or one of his sisters. Sadly of the 10 man crew of Henry his B-17, i only could not make contact with a living relative of the Steelsmith family jet.<br><br>About his family i know that he has 3 sisters Margaret Leann Steelsmith Hudson (1914-1952), Jane E. Steelsmith Eich (1917-1985), Edith Cleone Steelsmith Crisman (1922). Edith was married with Edward C. Crisman. he passed away in 1976. He is buried at Greenville. On the gravestone of Edward is not the name of Edith only 1922. So i think se is still living at Greenville. <br><br>I saw also the Eich surname is very common in Mercer County. Maybe there are some Eich Family Members whose knowing more?<br><br>Also the paper article is very interesting. I hope you still like to send me the article. <br><br>Maybe it's also a possibility to place a article in a local Greenville paper.

When I did a google search on the name "Dr. Martha Alice McBride" one of the articles that showed up was in an ad trying to get you to subscribe to the newspapers.com website. It appears to show an article which includes an older and a younger photo in an article from the Times Recorder, Zanesville, OH, Sunday, April 26, 1953, page 25, titled "Zanesville's first woman physician began practice here 85 years ago."

The St. Mary's Cemetery was abstracted in 1980, that is why Edna Herda is not listed in the cemetery book.

I didn't find Amelia in the cemetery index, but, do you think this is her husband John L. Herda 1895-1968 (only Herda in our Mercer County Cemetery Inscriptions). He is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, Hermitage, Pa. I viewed Amelia's death cert., and possibly she might be buried at St. Mary's also. During that flu epidemic they buried a mass of people in a section at St. Mary's that was not marked. I believe the area is right near the Chapel a wide open grass section. Our Genealogical Society was copying some of the death cert. in the 1917-1919 era to find where many of the people were buried because of no tombstones and they were in a hurry to bury people at that time. I never heard of St. Mary's being called a Polish Cemetery. I didn't see an obituary abstracted for her either.<br>Debbie2015-02-09 02:53:54Zmdhof47http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.mercer/4760.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Cemetery near Sharon PAhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.mercer/4760.1.1/mb.ashx

I checked what I had access to with the Greenville papers, and a shame is, the paper online ends at April 1943. There is an obituary for Henry's father in 1972 online if you want me to send you that. I do work at our Mercer County Genealogical Society, and I only saw one article that was in the other paper which is the Sharon Herald for Henry A. Steelsmith in March 30, 1944, possibly a write-up confirming his death, since it was much later than the actual death. I did find this small write-up online: "The Record-Argus, Greenville, Pa., Tuesday, April 6, 1943 p. 6 Personals: Staff Sergt. Henry A. Steelsmith is now stationed with the 28 Bomb Sq., 19 Bomb Group, Army Air Base, Pyote, Tex. Sergt. Steelsmith has won his five stripes and his wings, according to reports." <br>Possibly there are some relatives in Greenville, both of his sisters, Edith and Jane were living in Greenville in 1972, at the time of their father's death.

I have the cemetery index for all the cemeteries. Just give me a name and I can let you know which cemetery. The only reason a person is not listed in the cemetery books before 1980 when the cemeteries were copied, is that there was not a tombstone or the cemetery itself wouldn't share their records.

My name is René Bosma en I live in the little Dutch town of Oosterwolde. Since 4 years I have been investigating the Air war over the Northern part of the Netherlands. It is my main objective to gather as much information as possible about the aircraft and the airmen which came down over the province of Friesland during the Second World War. We consider it very important to keep the memory of the Air war alive, especially the many flyers paid with their lives for our Freedom. <br><br>One of the aircraft I research is a American B-17 with nickname “Las Vegas Avenger” (serial: 42-30603). The heavy bomber belongs to 306 Bomb Group/ 324 Bomb Squadron. in the morning of the 26th of November 1943 the B-17 lakes up from the American airfield at Thurleigh, England. The mission for this day were the city of Bremen. On the way to the target the plain has some technical problems and one of the 3 engines went down. 5 minutes for they reach Bremen they became a strangler so they became a easy target for German fighter. After releasing the bombs on the city. But the way back to England was long also when your all along in the sky so there’s no cover from other B-17’s from the Group. Short after that the Las Vegas Avenger get in a fight with several German fighters. The ten heavy machine guns on board of the Flying Fortress going wild en 2 fighter could be shot down. But also 2 engines of the B-17 were hit. But the fighting continues en sadly 4 of the 10 man crew get killed. The First Pilot en Commander made an assessment that the B-17 never get back to England again. They now flying over Dutch countryside en the 2 pilot’s decided to gif the balling out signal. Al the 6 man came same on the ground with their parachute. But one of the man broke his ankle so another man of the crew take care of the men were taken POW by the Germans. The 4 other man were helped by the Dutch underground en through various hiding places they came to Amsterdam were they also arrested by the Gestapo. All the 6 man came into different POW camps in Germany en stayed there till the end of the War. The 4 brave young Americans who sadly lost their live were buried at the local cemetery at Sint Nicolaasga. Near this little town in the North of the Netherlands the B-17 smashed into a farmland. After the war the 4 body’s were reburied at the American War Cemetery at Margraten the Netherlands were they still resting till today. <br> <br>The Tail Gunner of the 42-30603 crew was Staff Sergeant Henry Arthur Steelsmith. He was born on the 28st of November 1920 at Adamsville. His parents were Fred Vorous “Abbie” Steelsmith (1889-1972) en Jennie “Verna” Laverne Garvin Steelsmith. Henry has 3 sisters Margaret Leann Steelsmith, Charles “Jane” E. Steelsmith Eich, Edward “Edith” Cleone Steelsmith Crisman. The Steelsmith family lived during the war at 267 Main Street at Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.<br><br>After the crash Henry is body was buried at the local cemetery at Sint Nicolaasga. After the war his body was reburied at the American War Cemetery at Margraten, The Netherlands. He is still resting here.<br><br>At the moment I research this crash en I was hoping that there is someone could en will help me with some additional information about Henry:<br> <br>• his military career<br>• his family <br>• his life before he sight in for service <br> <br>I also hope that someone knows some ancestors or relatives of Henry en will help me to get in contact with them.<br><br>My goal with the information I try to collect is to make a as precise as possible reconstruction about the crew en their mission on that day. So the story of the brave man who gave their live for our freedom never will be forgotten. <br><br>Thank you in advance en hope someone could en will help me.<br>Kind regards<br>René Bosma, Oosterwolde, The Netherlands<br>My emailaddress: <a href="mailto://rene_bosma21@hotmail.com">rene_bosma21@hotmail.com</a><br>2015-02-06 13:17:58Zbosma48http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.mercer/4765/mb.ashx
